It is a very pretty house. Have you talked to the female at the castle and gotten Shum gro_Yarug as a quest objective? Might be easier to track him with a lovely arrow pointing you in the right direction. I had him as a potential quest objective for some time before I had the spare cash to buy the house.

Pib, have done all that and it is my active quest but the arrow has remained on the castle although I have searched and can't find Shum gro-Yarug there.

Also something similar is happening to my much needed next quest from the Gray Fox. Completed TURN A BLIND EYE but, as I wait to obtain the Arrow of Extrication Quest the arrow remains on Anvil Castle. What is happening?

I had that problem with buying the Skingrad House, too. I never saw him at the castle during the day, and I could never find him at night.In the end I found him by waiting just inside the gate leading out to the Castle, in increments of one hour, and caught him coming towards the gate in the morning.

I thought you already bought the house in Skingrad. You told me of an easier way to jump-up to get the "Long Forgotten Note" in the top master bedroom. This lead to the "Rosethorn Cache". Remember me saying I hooked myself on the antlers to reach the note?

What is the point of owning houses except for storage? Do you get any advancement points? The only one I own is the Benirus Manor in Anvil which I obtained through a quest. I've been selling most of my loot and storing a few "must haves" in the arch mage's chest at the university.

I think the Arch-Mage's chest is strictly for ingredients that you want replenished. Seems I remember being told not to leave stuff in there more than a week or it might disappear.

I ran across Gro walking down the street in Skingrad. Had decided my two houses, one in Cheydinhal and the manor in Anvil, were quite enough. I was forgetting what I had at each house. However, I do like home decorating and I had scads of money, so Skingrad seemed a nice middle of the country location for a third abode!

There is a piece of furniture beside the bed in the Arch Mage's quarters at the university. On it is a dish which fills itself with fresh fruit every day. My equipment has been safe in this furniture. I've been leaving stuff here ever since I became Arch Mage which is about half a game ago. I haven't lost anything from here yet. This isn't the ingredient chest. I did lose stuff from the boss fighter's chest.

What is everyone's most difficult opponent? I can fight several daedra at a time but have the most trouble with goblins. Go figure.

I've tried the old drop-and-hope method, but it doesn't work very well!

The z key allows you to grab something. The trick is that you then use the normal movement to move the item over or on top of where you want it while holding the z key. Some things like cups are very tricky to rotate back to right side up. When you have your hand over something and press the z key, it doesn't look like anything happened, very confusing! But try lifting the cursor upwards...

I put Wabbajack into a Skingrad display case and felt very proud of myself.

I thought I put some stuff in the chest at the foot of the bed in the Arch Mage's quarters and it went away. Perhaps I did leave it in a different location though, I have enough houses around Cyrodiil! I didn't use the magic ingredient chest for storage, just for valuable ingredients.
